By Previnex®
You may not know this, but Previnex® has an ambassador program, and Leah has been one of our ambassadors for many years now (you could say that she’s an ambassador OG)! Our ambassador program exists to give people who are passionate about health and wellness the space to create health and inspire others to care about health and wellness, too! Without further ado, let’s get to know Leah:
Q: What initially drew you to Previnex® supplements, and how did you learn about them?
A: As a former professional runner and coach, I want to take care of my body and of the runners I coach. Even with a healthy, whole-food-based diet, we sometimes need a supplement boost. I was connected with David (that’s our CEO!) early in my professional running career in 2017, and was drawn to Previnex® because of the high standard of testing done on their ingredients, the taste of the supplements (especially the Nourify® Plus Protein Powder!), and the fact that for every purchase made, a bottle of children's vitamins (Super Vites®) is donated to at-risk children around the world. It’s a full circle of health.
During one of our conversations, David shared a story about how effective the antioxidants are in the Multivitamin, Mineral & Antioxidant PLUS compared to other notable brands. He used his background in nutritional science to develop a high standard of quality ingredients and products that were clinically tested. He even did an experiment to see how well the antioxidants preserved the core of an apple submerged in water mixed with multivitamins from popular supplement brands. The results were astonishing—the Previnex® multivitamin completely preserved the apple versus the other brands (where the apples were completely oxidized). Since then, the Multivitamin, Mineral, & Antioxidant PLUS is the only supplement I’ve taken where I truly notice a difference in my energy levels.
Q: Which specific Previnex® products do you use as part of your training and recovery regimen?
A: Previnex's multivitamin and Nourify PLUS® protein powder—I love to make smoothies and bowls with this! (Fun fact: we have a bunch of recipes you can check out that use Nourify® PLUS!)
Q: How have Previnex® supplements impacted your performance and overall health since you started using them?
A: What’s cool about the Previnex® Probiotic is that I started taking it in 2017 to address gut health issues, and after a couple of years, I was able to stop taking it after achieving much better gut health. The Multivitamin, Mineral, & Antioxidant PLUS makes me feel energized and strong during runs, races, and workouts. It’s so noticeable that when I ran out of it for one week, I felt like I was going through coffee withdrawals!
Q: How do Previnex® supplements compare to the brands you have tried in the past?
A: The Multivitamin, Mineral & Antioxidant PLUS is the only one where I notice a consistent difference in my energy levels—both during the day and on my runs—and I’ve experimented with a lot of them! Previnex® products also taste good and don’t make me nauseous like some other brands. I really enjoy the protein powder—it mixes well with water, milk, or smoothies. Sometimes I’ll make protein hot chocolate with it, and it tastes like a delicious, warm cup of nutrients! And my body feels great!
Q: How does Previnex® fit into your daily nutrition and hydration plan?
A: I take two of the multivitamins capsules in the morning with breakfast before running and two with dinner. I notice my energy levels are more consistent, and I feel energized throughout the day and during my training runs. It’s like drinking caffeine but without the jitters, and it provides a wide variety of nutrients that enhance my performance. I also use Nourify® PLUS protein powder after hard workouts, long runs, and races to immediately replenish vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and protein. I notice a huge recovery boost—little to no soreness the next day—if I drink the protein shake within 30 minutes of finishing a run.
Q: How important is it for you that Previnex® supplements are made from high-quality, cleans ingredients?
A: It’s so important! I prefer to get my nutrients from whole foods, so it’s critical for me to know that there are no unnecessary ingredients, preservatives, or misleading information about what’s inside the product. The supplement industry is full of false information, poor quality ingredients, and amounts/percentages of those things that are way off of our daily requirements. I appreciate that David—the founder and CEO—has a deep background in nutritional science, so he understands the importance of testing and clinical data to create products that truly enhance our health.
Q: What advice would you give to other athletes considering trying Previnex® supplements for the first time?
A: Pay attention to how you feel, and think about what specific supplements might benefit you, rather than trying all of them at once. It might also help to get blood work done to check for deficiencies—supplements can be helpful if you're deficient but potentially counterproductive or unnecessary if you're not. When I started taking Previnex® supplements, I had gut health issues, so I knew the Previnex® Probiotic could help. I also needed extra protein after workouts because I primarily eat plant-based and not much meat, so the protein powder filled that gap. I started with two Multivitamin, Mineral & Antioxidant PLUS capsules in the morning and experimented with two in the evening.
Q: How important to you is the mission of serving malnourished children and ending vitamin-deficiency based malnutrition?
A: This is fundamental to human life. Through Previnex’s outreach program, I’ve learned more about how many children die of malnutrition, even when they are eating and hydrating, because the food isn’t meeting their basic nutritional needs. The fact that Previnex® is helping to meet this global need, especially with children, is reason enough to support them and their mission.
